Whether it has been five years or 50 years since you were last on campus, join us for a memorable weekend of reconnecting with classmates to celebrate all things Mount Holyoke. Reunion events include the Laurel Parade, Back-to-Class sessions, receptions, meals and more for alums and their families.
Reunion I: May 23-25
Classes of 1945, 1950, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 2000, 2005, 2015 and 2023
Reunion II: May 30-June 1
Classes of 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1995, 2010 and 2020
Registration opens in early February and closes May 1, 2025. Registration will be fully closed from May 2 through May 11. Late registration opens May 12 and will be available through Reunion. During late registration, we will charge a $25 fee, and on-campus housing will not be available.
If you need to cancel your registration, you will receive a full refund minus a 3% processing fee provided that you notify us in writing by 11:59 pm EDT on May 1. After that, you will not receive a refund for any reason (including COVID-19) for cancellations or changes to your registration or on-campus housing arrangements.
We welcome alums from nonreunion classes. If you have a friend attending Reunion in their class year, we recommend that you register as their guest. Otherwise, please email the Reunion Team for assistance.
Payment must be made via credit card. We do not accept cash or checks.
We offer four registration packages that alums can register for. These packages do not include overnight accommodations, so those who wish to stay on campus should add accommodations when registering.

Meals: Thursday dinner through Sunday breakfast
Events: Thursday through Sunday
Reunion Package
Meals: Friday lunch through Sunday breakfast
Events: Friday through Sunday
Saturday Package

Parade Package
Meals: Saturday lunch
Events: Saturday until 3 pm
The cost of attending Reunion is based on the package you select and whether you use campus accommodations. When we created the Reunion packages, we considered alums’ varying budgets and schedules.
We strive to make Reunion affordable for all alums, and we recognize that registration fees and travel costs could be prohibitive for potential participants, so we do all we can to keep costs to a minimum. Many returning classes offer financial assistance to help make it feasible for as many classmates as possible to join the festivities.
On-campus housing in a residence hall is available for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The cost is $50 per person per night. Please note that the Reunion packages do not include on-campus accommodations. If you wish to stay on campus you must add accommodations when registering.
All overnight guests must book a room. The only exception is for parents and guardians, who have the option of bringing sleeping bags or air mattresses for their children to use on the floor of the adults’ rooms. You will be charged an additional $50 per night for each bed you request for your children.
All beds in the residence halls are twin-size and come with a pillow, a blanket and sheets. We also provide towels and washcloths. Most of the available accommodations are double rooms (meaning each room has two twin-size beds). Only a limited number of single rooms are available, so there is no guarantee that you will get one.
If you register with one or more guests, you will all be housed together. If you register without a guest and do not select a classmate to share accommodations with you when you add housing, we may assign someone to share your room.
Alums who register for housing will receive their room assignments when they check in at Reunion. Please note that, in most cases, we are not able to house all alums from a returning class in the headquarters residence hall. In such situations, we will use overflow residence halls.
Residence halls do not have air conditioning.
To secure on-campus accommodation, you must register by 11:59 pm EDT on May 1, 2025. On-campus accommodations are not available during late registration.
Most Reunion meals will be served in the Dining Commons located in the Community Center. Check your class schedule (when it is posted) for details.
If you have not already made a gift to the College this fiscal year, please consider a gift to The Mount Holyoke Fund in honor of your Reunion. There are numerous ways to direct your gift in support of what matters most to you, including scholarship aid, academic enrichment and sustainability initiatives. Learn more about reunion giving. Thank you for your support!
